Sapa, Vietnam: Hello world! We have found our favorite place in Asia. It’s called Sapa - a mountain town north of Hanoi, accessible by overnight train. We’ve spent a few days here trekking around and seeing the nearby villages. We couldn’t really imagine trekking anywhere else we’ve been, but this is the first place that we’ve been that hasn’t been CRAZY hot - Sapa is full of cool, mountain air, which has been a nice change of pace.
We’ve got lots of pictures to share, the first of which are the beautiful scenery. The first thing you’ll notice is that the mountains here are terraced to allow for wet rice farming - our tour guide tells us that many of the terraces are 100 years old!
